Strangely it seems there are better resources on the internet helping to learn to write viruses on 64-bits than to learn writing a good 64-bits code for other purposes.

probably because virus writers/analysts are the only group of people who spend significant parts of their job screwing around in assembly.

Yes. And it's been like this since the early 1990s, when a good chunk of all the people who bought the MASM bible did so to learn how to write viruses.
